A Recipe
1. Take one bottle of white wine
2. Pour generously into large glass
3. Add hilarious show, Mock the Week in this case.
4. Laugh wildly.
Result: woken neighbours and sore ribs from laughing so bloody loud. Alcoholism is a pretty good cure for stress though, I have to say. It’s not like me to drink three-quarters of a bottle of wine, but I like it, in a drunken “oh, shit, I’ve got work in the morning” kind of way.
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

Naughty, naughty! I’d recommend punching a punching bag when stressed, though. It does get rather exciting.

Mock of the Week is such a funny program, I don’t blame you for laughing wildly. However, for the same results I would have to watch Bremner, Bird & Fortune, Have I Got News For You or Dead Ringers :)

:) Heh. Mock The Week is AMAZING. I always laugh at the “stand up and say what the prime minister is REALLY thinking” parts. Those crack me up. Alcohol, now and again, is a wonderful cure for stress. :)

Well, I’ve never heard of "Mock the Week" (guess that’s what I get for living in Oz), but the rest of it sounds like my ideal Friday/Saturday night :)
-
I prefer wine with supper instead of as a casual drink. Only, of course, because I can’t stand the taste without food. Still, your idea sounds rather fun. I should try it some day… when I’m legally aloud, of course.
-
umm… okay? i’m still confused by that entry… and i read it 5min. ago! just kidding! so were you drunk when you wrote that?
-
Sounds like a good Monday to me!
-
I still prefer hot chocolate. Hahahahahahaha. :P So, are you still drunk? ;)
-
The question is………… Did you spill the wine in your keyboard? If not, well done :o) As for the stress…… thats easy, Take Karl, and torment him heheheh
-
the headache is doing that, Jo….it’s a “behind the eyes making you want to throw up” one…
-
Poor Jem, take it she hasn’t mastered the art of “drink a pint of water before you go to bed to replace the fluids that the alcohol will dehydrate” yet then
-
Oh, it was Karl with the headache.. I’m fine :D
-
I have to give you props on that, darling. I’ve never been ballsy enough to drink on the eve of work. I’m always so paranoid I’ll have a hangover… though I never get hangovers. I’m such a square.
-
I turn to a nice chocolate brownie, a chocolate milk and a bit of fanfiction instead.
-
Awesome. Lol. Never heard of “Mock the Week” though, which is a shame, it sounds entertaining :D
-
You only drank 3/4 of the bottle? I’d be on my second bottle by the time the night was over. ;)
